Gorgeous appetizers set the tone for meat-centric, down-home, but nuanced entrees. Try the Empanada Don Walter made with tender chunks of beef, eggs and raisins in a blistery-crunchy crust with whole perfectly-steamed shrimp in a romesco sauce. The Lomo Saltado has lean slices of beef, onions and tomatoes, expertly seasoned and served aside a mound of fluffy rice to soak up the savory juices. There is an exceptionally hearty pork chop on an earthy bed of mushrooms, cabbage, bacon and chopped potatoes. Desserts include a truly-sublime fruit ice cream, flown in from Peru.

Overall, the ambiance is pure 1930's and 1940's - tasteful art moderne
reminiscent of the glory days of Cunard and French Line ships. Fashionable and
glamorous are the hallmarks. Trendy is simply not a part of the BIX culture.
The clientele at BIX ranges from San Francisco movers-and-shakers to

All of them step from the featureless alley into another world - a world of
